Give me an excuse and I’ll be naked! When people come to visit and the sun’s shining they always ask at the gate; “Hey, are you decent?” to which I invariably reply, “I’m always decent when I’m naked.” And my birthday is October 3… Yes, another Libran, how about that! Let’s hear it for those October people who I already can guess were all born naked.

Well, wonderful. Here’s to you getting naked again, with another naked significant other for the fun of it all. We should all be playing naked, all the time and a really, really, REALLY good question is, WHY CAN’T WE? When I suggest openly and publicly that we should all be naked all the time except of course when we actually need clothing, I get the GREAT CIVILIZED SOCIETIZED SILENCE OF THE LAMBS. Why do civilized people fear their own bodies? And isn’t that a huge indicator that something’s terribly wrong with man’s civilization? We’re always digging at finding ever more esoteric solutions to the great evils that plague man when the obvious literally stares us in the face. Psychologically, would aggressive violence increase or decrease if people went naked? If, for example, wars were fought in the nude, empty handed? Policing was done in the nude? Would we even need policing then? Would we consider warring? I wouldn’t have a problem shedding a few crocodile tears over the demise of fashion empires… and spending that money on starving kids and their mothers. I’m actually being serious.

I agree, mankind will be subtle if all are naked. I wonder if all politicians will withstand debating if they are all standing naked. Just imagine what kind of folly they would all look like magnifying their opponent’s shortcomings when they’re displaying their brilliance with all their nudity. Just kidding. Forgive me for my naked ignorance.

Thanks Sha’Tara for making me think with your thoughts. Thansk too for stopping by. Have a great october.

Great post Joel. Happy upcoming naked day! Here is a quote from Mark Twain. I happen to disagree. Naked people at the board of directors meetings always has an influence on the mood. “Clothes make the man. Naked people have little or no influence on society.”
― Mark Twain

There’s nothing like a good old cliché, Joel. I love the metaphor – it is a metaphor isn’t it? I’m not sure I could celebrate my nakedness too often, it might work out too expensive. I’m on a tight budget! 🙂

It’s great to meet you in you ‘naked state’.. haha! Thanks for following my blog and I love these quotes.. oh so true, there are few things more illuminating than ‘the naked truth’ – be bold, be daring in your nakedness! x

You’re welcome – If we could each put a smile on one other persons face everyday what a lovely place we’d live in! I’m pleased I could do that for you today.. delightful and hope you’re having a great day too. x

Happy belated birthday for the 13th Joel. Too bad we didn’t touch on nakedness when we were discussing things set in stone, huh? We would have come around to discussing our October birthdays! It’s not too late to send me greetings. And that’s the naked truth! 🙂

Michael Buble was on TV last night and he’s so handsome. When I write to other bloggers I often try to picture them … and I wonder do you resemble him? That’s the picture I get whenever I write to you … just a thought! 🙂
